In the middle of the 2021 season, Wuhan eStar won the KPL Autumn Tournament and challenger cup consecutive championships. Became the second team in KPL league history to win the second five-time champion and the second Grand Slam.
Compared with the two crowns in the second half of the year, and looking back at its half a year ago, Wuhan eStarPro twice stopped in the final four, but failed to reach the finals. Even further, going back to 2020, it will be the darkest year in the history of the Wuhan eStar team. Under the leadership of version sanctions and coach Lu Chenglin, Wuhan eStar playoff round trip, tragically hammered.
And Wuhan eStar's results in 2021 began to pick up, and the record of returning to the peak was inseparable from one person, that is, SK. The arrival of SK has brought a visible qualitative change to Wuhan eStar; his contribution to Wuhan eStar is obvious to all, especially after Wuhan eStar won two championships. The players, including Hua Hai and Yi Zheng, all thanked SK, saying that SK had brought them rebirth, and the evaluation was so high that it was rare among all top coaches.
Hua Hai, Yi Zheng and other players thanked SK in their speeches! For coaches, it is not easy
Hua Hai, the best player of the year, as early as the documentary of the 2021 KPL Autumn Finals, directly admitted that he did not want to fight and thought about retiring. Now it seems that Huahai is retreating, and it is not empty: eStar's two top four results in the first half of 2021 directly led to the dissolution of the five-person group of Zimo, Huahai, Wuxin, Jinyu and Wuming. Watching his good friend Ming Ming forced to transfer, it is normal for Huahai's mentality to collapse.
From the 2019 King of Glory World Champions Cup to the 2021 KPL Autumn Championship, it took two years in between before the sea of flowers returned to the peak. For Huahai, his debut in 2019 was the peak, and he also experienced a trough of more than 700 days, which is not easy. In particular, Coach Lin insisted on pressing Huahai in the shooter position, which directly made Huahai lose his way, and the subsequent results were also obvious to everyone.
When SK arrives at E Star, the sea of flowers is fixed in the field position. The growth of the flower sea in the following year is obvious to everyone, and the achievements can prove everything. Some people are born to grow up in the wild, and Huahai is such a player. Hua Hai's level of playing wild was much stronger than his shooter. Moreover, after a year of cat transfer, Huahai finally learned to conduct under the adjustment of SK, and the level is quite high. Huahai has today's growth, absolutely inseparable from SK, without SK's dissuasion, Huahai this autumn game may not have been played for a long time!
Therefore, he mentioned SK many times in his acceptance speech, and it is not difficult for everyone to understand! A player who does not understand the respect for the coach, who does not understand the gratitude to bring his own performance coach, will everyone still like it?
For Yi Zheng, SK is yi zheng's mentor in his career. It was he who brought Yi Zheng to the pinnacle of his career – the 2020 KPL Fall Championship and the two titles after coming to eStar. After SK left, the 2021 KPL Spring Tournament, as well as the Shenzhen DYG of the World Champions Cup, played very hard - the spring quarterfinals, the World Championship stopped in the group stage, and even the knockout round could not be reached. Yi Zheng almost couldn't play the game anymore, and the whole team fell into a trough.
In the end, Shenzhen DYG was ready to let Xiaoyi transform into a shooter, and Yi Zheng chose to list. For Yi Zheng, he is already a 22-year-old shooter, and his results in the first half of the year are very poor, and it is actually difficult to transfer out. Once the transfer fails, Xiao Yi transforms into a shooter, Yi Zheng can only substitute, and what greets Yi Zheng is not far from retirement. It was SK who blindly photographed Yi Zheng, gave Yi Zheng a chance, and brought Yi Zheng back to the peak of his career, and Yi Zheng won two championships in a row. He also became the top scorer with the highest number of champions after Hurt!
Frankly speaking, the growth of Yi Zheng and Huahai is inseparable from SK. Even after QingRong was banned by the juvenile ban, it was no longer so sought-after in the transfer market. When the KPL League deliberately opened the mid-season transfer period, only Wuhan eStar bid, and at that time, Wuhan eStar won seven consecutive regular season games, did not taste a defeat, and has shown the potential of the Big Devil. It was also SK who resisted the pressure and tried to buy Qingrong, and Qingrong was able to play again. Watching a coach win the championship and get the gratitude of his players can already say it all.
There is also a gap between coaches, e-sports, dishes are original sin, only results are always king.
